Help
I became addicted to jianbing (a.k.a. dan bing) for breakfast during my recent brief trip to Shanghai and as if by magic came across these videos right after I returned. The "Northern" style is almost identical to the one made by a couple near our apartment. Price? About 20 cents US.

that looks so much like a dosa being made. also not so different from the roti-prata preparation i photographed in singapore last summer. the method of preparation, i mean; the ingredients are obviously quite different.

Yeah... those puppies are nice. And dirt cheap too!
A - the filling is a crispy square of deep-fried dough - I assume wheat flour rather than soy. The sauce is some of kind of chilli sauce; can't remember exactly wot

I believe they came out of the rear end of a chicken, as is customary in China.
In America, chickens cough up their eggs like bulemics: orally.
Well, you knew that, right?

Gary, did you post about other things that you ate in Shanghai and I missed it? I might be there this fall (crossing my fingers) and I'd love to know what you recommend.
Am now definitely going to have to find a Jian Bing seller.
